In the season opener for Victoria Falls Eagles, a 1-1 draw could and perhaps should have been more than 1 point but both teams will have been satisfied not to lose their opening game of the season.
Despite having 75% of the possession Eagles only managed 4 shots at goal, with their single shot on target bringing their goal, superbly scored by MacLeod and assisted by Walker. Walker will look back and wonder "what if" as he crashed an earlier shot against the bar in the 1st half which could have slingshot the Eagles onto victory.
After the game Walker had this to say:
"This is a strong foundation on which to build on to start our season. We held onto possession well but credit to Accra for not allowing us much room to do anything with it. They were always a threat on the counter and something we had to watch out for. Was very happy to get an assist to my name in the opening game and lay down a marker for the season ahead, was great to see MacLeod put the ball in the net for our first goal of the season. After watching him in training, he is certainty one to look out for and will cause the opposition trouble throughout the game. After pre-season it was good to finally get out on that pitch and see how the guys would gel."
Eagles will no doubt want to improve their attacking output in the coming games but they will be satisfied with how well they managed to control the game.
